EVERY DAY EXAMPLES
TEXT
SPEECH To
hear and understand. Isiaah says........From this we can follow that we
need to soften the heart to hear and then understand. The Shema says Listen
Israel......there is only one God. The pauses make it easier to listen
and hear, but understanding is from the softened heart. There are pauses between the notes and a few notes must pass before we sense the melody. What is in the pause? ...Time....Rythmn..... repetition ...vibration....`` NIGHT SKY When we look into the dark night sky on a moonless night, all we can see is the darkness of nothingness. The other word for nothing is AYIN. The night sky extends without end, Ein Sof, Millions of Light Years beyond the limit of our vision. Light years beyond the Galaxies. We thus have the pattern of the darkness of ein Sof made of the Ayin of nthe dark sky. Similarly with the daytime blue sky which extends without end, There is no blue pigment or blue colour in the sky, the colour comes from optical phenomena. The same as the blue colour of water en mass, there is no actual colour in the water. There is NOTHING, AYIN, in the sky, any water vapour has already condensed into a band of cloud but the sky extends everywhere without end, Ein Sof. Space/time ETERNITY We shy away from the word " eternal," but I
can describe the experience only as the ecstasy of a non-temporal state
in which present, past, and future are one. Everything that happens in
time had been brought together into a concrete whole. Nothing was distributed
over time, nothing could be measured by temporal concepts. The experience
might best be defined as a state of feeling, but one which cannot be produced
by imagination. How can I imagine that I exist simultaneously the day
before yesterday, to-day, and the day after to-morrow? There would be
things which would not yet have begun, other things which would be indubitably
present, and others again which would already be finished and yet all
this would be one. The only thing that feeling could grasp would be a
sum, an iridescent whole, containing all at once, expectation of a beginning,
surprise at what is now happening, and satisfaction or disappointment
with the result of what happened. One is interwoven into an indescribable
whole and yet observes it with complete. objectivity.
